This hike is easy.
The first half is pleasant, with a nice walk through small villages.
The second half is more monotonous, crossing fields.
Overall, a good walk.

Beautiful views of the Vexin, but as we went hiking after several days of rain, we had to find parallel paths to avoid huge puddles. Muddy ground and tractor tracks spoiled the walk a little. To be redone in dry weather. Vigny has some beautiful architectural treasures, including a castle worthy of a fairy tale.

Hello,
we have changed the route to take a side street that passes in front of the church and along the bus shelter to avoid the town centre.

There are some beautiful heritage sites, but unfortunately Vigny Castle is currently covered in scaffolding.
The noise from the D14 road passing through Vigny spoils the start and end of the walk. Unfortunately, we had the misfortune of encountering a clay pigeon shooting range in full swing in Théméricourt, which did nothing to improve the soundscape.

The second part of the route, which is the return journey from Avernes to Vigny, is uninteresting: completely flat, surrounded by fields (which have just been ploughed in October) and with no vegetation.
There are a few very muddy sections between Vigny and Théméricourt.
It should be noted that Vigny Castle is currently undergoing extensive renovation work (it is said to be affected by dry rot). It is covered in tarpaulin and therefore completely invisible from the gate.

Not many people, an easy, green route through fields and along the edge of woods. Passes through three pretty villages in the Vexin region. A beautiful, very peaceful area. The walk can be made longer or shorter depending on your pace. Easy to follow with the map.

Hello,
We weren't impressed by this hike, which mainly takes place in the middle of fields, exposed to the wind. There is a lack of small, bucolic paths or forest.

A very pleasant and varied route, with clear signposting that corresponds perfectly to the terrain.

A little difficult to find the starting point, as the street names didn't match up. After that, the route was varied and pleasant, except for the section between Gadancourt and Guiry (quite a lot of traffic for a Sunday afternoon). We came across a group of hikers and a few walkers, but not many people overall

A very pleasant hike through wheat fields, typical villages and castles. The description was spot on. There are options to join other PR trails, which are clearly marked on the map. Thank you!

A pleasant route combining walking through fields, discovering pretty villages and castles, and enjoying local cuisine (farmhouse beers in Théméricourt). May is the ideal time to visit, as it is not too hot (much of the route is open), there is a slight breeze and the paths are dry.

This hike should not be undertaken if it has rained heavily in the preceding days, as the paths will be very muddy. Otherwise, it is a very beautiful hike
